It's fine, it does work.
A7III outselling EOS R/P and Z6 in Japan - https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/bcn...ition-combined-canon-r-canon-rp-and-nikon-z6/

i used any old usb on my mac and it updated fine within 15 minutes.
It's not really surprising, when launching a new system it takes a while to build up steam. Could you imagine what sales would be like for Sony if their first mirrorless was the A73? Its quality is almost irrelevant in the very short term.

why is that?
Have no idea just seen a some posts in this thread saying that you have to use a usb c cable if you are using a Mac.
I have done it via both and both works.Do you use the USB-C port in the Sony A7RIII? I just watched a video and the guy said to use the Micro USB and not the USB-C!
I do have a Sony USB-C cable
Seems to me like they are not building up much at moment in Japan. I think sales of Sony mirrorless have always been on an upward trend.
I am not really talking about quality since as you mentioned initial Sony mirrorless weren't all that good and worst than the first attempts from Canikon.
I wonder if Sony has got their marketing department doing a good job finally. I remember in a-mount days Sony got a lot stick for crap marketing.
Just use a windows machine to do the update
Many cables you get with chargers etc only have the 2 power wires inside to save money, these are the only ones to avoid - any full data cable will work.I eventually managed to download the firmware update by switching from Safari to Chrome and using the micro USB cable - everything else just didn't work.

I'm on the lookout for a 70-200 f4 for my A73.
Anyone know where's best - price, warranty etc?
Singapore is amazing, it's a melting pot of cultures, lots to see, lots to do and photo opportunities at every turn. Me and the wife love it and will be going back.I'm going on holiday! We're off to Singapore in August.
Can I just ask some advice please:
For those who have updated their A9/A7III/A7III with the 3.0 firmware, is this pretty straightforward to do and is there anything to be aware of that you didn't know before you did it?
I want to update my A7RIII but I cannot find the Sony cable to do the update and I've read that it won't work with some 3rd party cables? Looks like I'll have to buy a Sony one from their website
It’s natural that sales of Sony mirrorless have been on the upward trend, they’ve kept getting better and have built a brand around mirrorless. It’s obviously they’d be outselling the competition at the moment because the camera is better and they have been building the mirrorless brand for longer.
It’s common knowledge that canikons mirrorless cameras aren’t wonderful unlikely to be outselling Sony, especially when they cost more. Quality comes into it, if Canon or Nikon were better quality than Sony then I’d have bought one of them. Too right their first attempts should be better, they’ve had years longer to do r & d.
I don’t think any of the big camera companies do an amazing job at marketing, they tend to do the bog standard same stuff over and over again.
Well it isn't just that. I think Canikons main intention with these bodies was to keep people from leaving them to buy Sony. So I am guessing they wanted to keep their customers and not so much attract people from other brands. I don't know how much they have achieved that.
Canon surely missed a trick not retaining their existing lens mount for their mirrorless cameras, enabling current users a seamless opportunity to switch. Nikon's F mount really needed to be replaced so they can't be blamed, but Canon's isn't old and shouldn't be technically deficient in any way, so requiring that the existing customer base change over seems like madness to me.
Especially only 12 months after their "extraordinary loss".
Are you being serious? Quick internet definition for you:
'An extraordinary item consists of gains or losses included on a company's income statement from events that are unusual and infrequent in nature.'
Doesn't mean extraordinarily high.
I've just picked up a Laowa 15mm lens. I put it on my A9 and got a "lens not detected" type error message. I'm guessing this is normal as it's a manual lens but just want to double check? Also is there a way to get focus assist/peeking working with it?

TBH it doesn't surprise me, the A7III is one of the best bang for buck new cameras on the market imo. The trouble with the Canikons is that they've both released something that is behind the current market, and if starting out on a new system then surely you'd buy the best (ergonomics etc aside). Maybe Nikon's firmware update in 2 weeks will bring the Z's closer to Sony but who knows. I can't see frame rate being improved from 5.5fps if you want to see a realtime view, even if they are adding AE changes to the faster frame rates.A7III outselling EOS R/P and Z6 in Japan - https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/bcn...ition-combined-canon-r-canon-rp-and-nikon-z6/
It's a Canon and 'everyone' knows Canon are the bestI am surprised EOS R/P outsells Z6.
